Anybody got a picture of factory rear SWB sway mounts?

[hesaputz]

I'm restoring an early SWB coupe that had a rear sway added, very poorly. I'd like to see what it's supposed to be. Were the mounts on all cars, or just those with sways? I've seen lots of later cars that didn't have mounts, and the rear sway was added with the 'horseshoe' clamp that ties it to the torsion tube.

Dave, somewhere in the tech section here there should be a series of pictures I did showing the subsequent install of rear bar mounts.

Thanks, Ed - I found it. What early cars had them from the factory? i'm trying to do up a 15 or 16mm on a '65.

I'm pretty sure the 65 only had the front, rear bars I believe started with 67 S.

Rear Bar 16mm diameter Part Number 901.333.701.01 homologated on Form 183 on 8/11/1965.

We have made new 16mm rear bars and cast steel brackets to replace the flimsy steel pressings which always tend to break with the larger bars. We also have uprated bushes for these bars.

The ball studs that need to be fitted to the trailing arms are still available from Porsche Part No. 901.331.571.02 and the drop links are 901.333.731.01/02. There is a nylon cup fitted to the drop link 901.343.782.00.
